Fall Leaf Pickup
During the fall, the City of Mississauga provides Vacuum Leaf Pickup service to streets that are more than 35 years old and contain many mature large trees. Streets with fewer and younger trees are not included in the program.
Addresses eligible for Leaf Pickup will receive a direct-mail notice that indicates when leaves
will be picked up in their area.

Missed Leaf Pickup? Here are your options for disposing leaves:
The Region of Peel will also pick up leaves on your regular waste collection day until
December 13, 2018. Leaves must be placed curbside in open, reusable containers such as bushel baskets, labelled rigid plastic containers or paper yard waste bags weighing less than 20 kgs (44 lbs) when full. Do not use plastic bags or recycling boxes.
You can also compost your leaves or spread them around the base of your trees. Leaves will fertilize the soil and act as a buffer against extreme temperatures. Remember that oak leaves
are difficult to compost. Questions?
For more information on the City's Leaf Pickup program, contact 3-1-1 (or 905-615-4311 from outside the City) from Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
For more information on Region of Peel yard waste collection, call 905-791-9499 or visit their website.
